| Summary: | Pearse remarks: "I am very glad that we have secured your collection as a penny booklet. It will fill a long felt want. I note that you say about toning down, and you may rest quite satisfied that your wishes shall be duty observed". He discusses the probable format [a sixteen page booklet], likely delays at the printers [ "...elephantine in their slowness and asinine in their stupidity..."] and proposed Irish language titles for the booklet [ "...an attractive and pithy title will mean much. Ceól Sidhe, "Sgéilíní" ..."]. |
